Basal Ganglia – Cortex Interactions: Regulation of Cortical Function by D1 Dopamine Receptors in the Striatum

  • Chapter
Monoaminergic Modulation of Cortical Excitability

  • 488 Accesses

This paper reviews recent findings of molecular imaging studies that investigated the role of striatal dopamine in the regulation of basal ganglia output and cortical function. These studies employed immediate-early genes such as c-fos and zif 268 as functional markers to determine the effects of dopamine depletion and local dopamine receptor stimulation in the striatum on cortical function. The results indicate that the D1 receptor-regulated direct striatal output pathway provides widespread activation of the cortex. The various anatomical pathways that could mediate this basal ganglia-cortical regulation are discussed. It is concluded that likely several pathways act in concert, some signaling specific motor commands, others providing more general (and widespread) cortical activation, perhaps related to arousal and attentional states, that is necessary for normal motor functioning. All these basal gangliacortical activating mechanisms appear to be facilitated by striatal dopamine.
